Hello,
I use FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64 in an HP tower with an integrated Intel video card or with an Amd/Ati Pcie card. In /etc/rc.fonf I have the line
kld_list="radeonkms"
to load the radeonkms module at boot time, better to load this module there than in /boot/loader.conf I have read. radeonkms work well for me in the console, I use modesetting with Xorg. It take time before radeonkms load and before this I do not have the native resolution of the screen.
I want to compile a custom kernel who will include i915kms, radeonkms and all the needed firmware files in the kernel image to have KMS available at early boottime. Looking at /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC I see no option who allow me to do that. I have search on Internet without success. Is some of you know if it is possible and if yes which lines I must put in my custom kernel configuration file to do so?
I would like to have KMS support in the kernel image instead of as modules but if you know a faster way than in rc.conf to load radeonkms or i915kms at boot time you can tell me too.
A last question, which Xorg video driver is better with KMS between xf86-video-amdgpu, xf86-video-ati and the integrated modesetting driver for a
[AMD/ATI] Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series]
video card. Only modesetting work. Same thing for a
Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
video card. Is xf86-video-intel good or modesetting even better?
